Pearl millet, also known as Bajra in Hindi and Sajjalu in Telugu is a rich source of phosphorus, which plays an important part in the structure of body cells. Phosphorus, found in pearl millet, is a significant component of several necessary compounds including adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This element is also a crucial component of nucleic acids, which are the building blocks of the genetic code. Phosphorus is a constituent of lipid-containing structures such as cell membranes and nervous system structures.
